yaaay... i got a pair of these on my celica, they're ok, but after a year or so the plastic mounting plate thing cracked and they fell off. but i think they look ace ;D back on now with some beefier washers to help keep em in place. i reckon they are well worth it at the price, and far less common that chrome bullet mirrors not the best pic but ya get the idea

well... been running the car for week or so now. have racked up 28 miles, woohoo... this has cost £25 in fuel, not so woohoo been trying to get it to run nice, revs fine and freely when sat still, but when its being driven it revs ok up to about 4k, then just bogs down and splutters, misses and generally has a hissy fit. pretty sure its down to the carbs. have had a play with the mixtures etc, still no bettter. i have a set of bike carbs that I'm gonna be trying once i get a manifold bodged together carefully made up hoping this will sort suff out. in the meantime i have changed the dizzy, coil, leads etc with some spares i have just to see if it helps but no luck. any other suggestions? also another prob is that the alternator seems to be putting out wayt to much power. i fitted a guage in the car, show about 18v, thight maybe the guage was plaing up so tried with a meter at the battery and that shows 17-18v when reving the engine, have tried another alternator and even another regulateor. still too high tho. any suggestions to what else can cause this? anyhow on a brighter note. the missus's daughter has just had her ROA ? big leaving school party and asked if id drive her there. lots of her friends were going in limmos and she wanted to turn up in something cool well, thats what she said, knowing that if she put it like that i couldnt say no its not like when i left school, its all over the top stuff, bit like my fat big traveller wedding crossed with a yoof club. anyway, there were a few nice motors there and a couple of erm, not so discreet motors they all had a good time, apparantly after i dropped her of a bunch of knowledgable lads were asking her where shed hired the mustang from bless em

treated the car to a new steering wheel, i took the omp one out and put it in the mx5, feels just right in there so gonna leave it. got this one from ebay its a cheapy one, about £40 and ya can tell, feels a bit naff. so will change again when something nice turns up. ooohh, got this today as well! big thanks to Rob and Jon and the other guys at the garage, got it in just before 5, headlight aim was still all over the place, turns out a bulb was upside down. but they stayed untill way after closing time on a friday afternoon and fiddled about untill it was right. ;D drove the long way to the mot station, car is fine when not being pushed but really bogs down and farts n spits if ya try accelerate . think the carbs need more playing with. if that fails have just bought a set of bike carbs, would like to try them and see if it runs better and more economically. its really guzzling at the mo. so hopefully see you chaps at the gathering then B) oohh also , this was next door being motd as well, the sound was awesome.
